Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

Same menu today but the chicken dish had nuts

Sounds more Hai-nut-ese than Hainanese?

It added crunch to the chewy, dry, powdery chicken- Sundays dish the chicken was moist, juicy and tender

Still same menu. Seems they mix and match the ingredients somewhat. ...

I had the tofu and mushroom dish. It was quite good although very salty. Mr Seat0A had the pork (no photo) and found it very dry

Yes I had the pork at the lounge today too. Horribly dry. I usually really enjoy Spice Bar food but today was not nice.

Needs another serve of noodles?

It was the mushrooms themselves that were super salty.

Yesterday the menu was vegetarian or chicken kimchi fried rice. Rice itself was okay, but became very good once I added extra chilli and kimchi from the side bar. Egg was cooked well and had a runny yolk.

What was even more impressive, was the plates being handed out and on the counter, of salmon crudo sashimi. These were very fresh and quite tasty, though I added soy sauce.

Overall the best domestic lounge food I've ever had.

The Spice Bar was closed by the time I got there yesterday but they had this on offer. Is this regularly available?
